Australian award pay rates

Minimum rates for each classification under Australia's modern awards, taken from the Fair Work Commission's published pay database.

Where these figures come from

Rates are taken from the Fair Work Commission's Modern Awards Pay Database and stored with the date each one took effect, so a page can show what applied on a past date as well as today.

Where the Commission publishes a weekly rate but no hourly one — which is the case for every junior classification — the hourly figure is calculated from the weekly rate over the award's ordinary weekly hours. Pages say which figures are calculated.

Award rates change on 1 July each year, and can change at other times when the Commission makes a decision. These pages carry the date each rate took effect.
